AJAX example
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here is a simple example showing how you might go about implementing a form that
|
||||||
|
works for AJAX requests as well as 'normal' form POSTs::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
import json
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
from django.http import HttpResponse
|
||||||
|
from django.views.generic.edit import CreateView
|
||||||
|
from django.views.generic.detail import SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
class AjaxableResponseMixin(object):
|
||||||
|
"""
|
||||||
|
Mixin to add AJAX support to a form.
|
||||||
|
Must be used with an object-based FormView (e.g. CreateView)
|
||||||
|
"""
|
||||||
|
def render_to_json_response(self, context, **response_kwargs):
|
||||||
|
data = json.dumps(context)
|
||||||
|
response_kwargs['content_type'] = 'application/json'
|
||||||
|
return HttpResponse(data, **response_kwargs)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def form_invalid(self, form):
|
||||||
|
if self.request.is_ajax():
|
||||||
|
return self.render_to_json_response(form.errors, status=400)
|
||||||
|
else:
|
||||||
|
return super(AjaxableResponseMixin, self).form_invalid(form)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def form_valid(self, form):
|
||||||
|
if self.request.is_ajax():
|
||||||
|
data = {
|
||||||
|
'pk': form.instance.pk,
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
return self.render_to_json_response(data)
|
||||||
|
else:
|
||||||
|
return super(AjaxableResponseMixin, self).form_valid(form)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
class AuthorCreate(AjaxableResponseMixin, CreateView):
|
||||||
|
model = Author
